The CSU Chinese program offers a minor upon completing four years of Chinese language study. The goal of the program is to integrate the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Quite a few students participate in CSU study abroad programs either short term or year long. Credits from the accredited universities can be evaluated and transferred back to CSU. For new students with elementary Chinese language background, you can take verbal and reading placement tests with the Chinese program instructor to decide on the level of course to enroll. Please note that heritage students can only enroll if Chinese is not your native tongue.

One reason to take Chinese at CSU is that the Chinese Club is an energized student club hosting various events. Follow the Chinese Club.
